The folktale closely adheres to the definitions of a classic Greek tragedy and a typical tragic hero. Okonkwo tragic fall was to kill Ikemefuna, his adopted son. An Okonkwo's friend, Obierica, even foreshadowed the significant and imminent downfall that would come of his killing of Ikemefuna.

How is a root word used to understand a text? It reveals the style of the writer. It alerts the reader that a technical term is
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

It provides the foundation for a word’s meaning.

Explanation:

Let's say, for example, you encountered the word "unhappiness" within a reading text. And, let's say that you had no idea whatsoever what the affixes -un and -ness meant. You would at the very least be able to recognize (a form of) the word 'happy' as the root of the larger word and know that the word had something to do with the concept of "happy."

1. 8R4 - How does the extended simile in paragraph 9 affect the mood of "Excerpt from The Open Boar"?!
elena-s [515]

Answer:

1) The correct answer here is D)

 

Explanation:

The simile that compares the boat to a bucking broncho strengthened the tense mood.

Paragraph 9 reads:

The boat "pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal" repeatedly over "walls of water" repeatedly.

This sort of comparison forces one to think about the kind of attention channels at riding wild and dangerous animal.

The simile communicates great danger to the reader of the possibility of the boat to crash or capsize at any given moment as it slams against the waters and into the huge waves before them.

2) The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The phrase "<em>The mind of the master of a vessel is rooted deep in the timbers of her</em>" alludes that the Captain of the vessel regardless of how long they have commanded such vessel.

3)   The excerpt which confirms the relentlessness and indifference of the ocean is given below

"<em>A particular danger of the sea is the fact that after successfully get­ting through one wave, you discover that there is another behind it. The next wave is just as nervously anxious and purposeful to overturn boats.</em>"

Cheers!

Read the passage from Animal Farm. Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did
bekas [8.4K]

In this passage from "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, the detail that bests supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals is option <em>B “Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’”</em>

Propaganda is the spreading of rumors and true, false or incomplete information to influence public opinion. In this passage we learn that the enemy is Jones. Snowball, Napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. They are the obvious leaders, because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and drink milk. Propaganda together with the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking. So they send out flights of pidgeons to mingle with the animals on neighboring farms to learn the tune of "Beasts of England", a way to use propaganda to achieve their goals.
